Hi Will.

I think you're done.   The functionality provided via the most recent
patch (i.e. the one in which Caps Lock gets restored when you quit Orca)
works very nicely.   Thanks for doing it!

Regarding an alternative way to have full Caps Lock functionality while
using Orca:

It's a "nice to have" thing that should go into an RFE and marked as
FUTURE.  We need all of the things you've listed (especially compelling
Firefox access) far more.   For now, we can just hold down Shift as we
type. :-)

YES!

That sounds great.

Take care.
